Refine your profile. Restore your confidence.
A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten loose skin, remove excess fat, and smooth visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. Whether you’re concerned about a “turkey neck,” jowls, or muscle banding, a neck lift can rejuvenate your appearance and give you a more youthful, sculpted profile.
You may be a good candidate for a neck lift if you:
A neck lift is often performed on its own or in combination with a facelift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
During the procedure, incisions are typically made behind the ears and sometimes under the chin, allowing the surgeon to tighten underlying muscles, remove excess fat, and reposition or trim skin. Recovery time varies, but most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, with continued improvement over the following months.A neck lift, also known medically as platysmaplasty or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure specifically designed to address the visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline area. The primary goals of a neck lift are to improve the contours of the neck by addressing sagging skin, excess fat accumulation, and the appearance of muscle banding. This procedure can create a smoother, more youthful, and defined appearance in the lower face and neck.
Ideal candidates for a neck lift are individuals who are bothered by the visible signs of aging in their neck, such as the development of wrinkles, loose or hanging skin (often referred to as a "turkey neck"), and the presence of vertical bands in the neck muscles. While age is a common factor, genetics and lifestyle can also contribute to these changes. A neck lift is typically considered by individuals who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the surgical outcome.
The neck lift procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgical process involves making small, discreet incisions, often placed around the ears and extending into the hairline to minimize visible scarring. The specific techniques used will depend on the individual patient's anatomy and the extent of the issues being addressed. In many cases, the surgeon will tighten the platysma muscle in the neck, which is responsible for the vertical bands that can appear with age. Excess fat deposits under the chin and in the neck may be removed using liposuction to further refine the contour. Finally, the skin of the neck is redraped, and any excess skin is trimmed away before the incisions are closed with sutures.
The recovery period following a neck lift involves some swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort. Patients may experience tightness in the neck area. Pain medication can help manage any discomfort. It is important to follow the surgeon's instructions regarding head positioning and activity restrictions during the initial recovery phase. While some improvements in neck contour will be noticeable relatively soon after surgery, the final results will gradually become more apparent as swelling subsides over several weeks.
The benefits of a neck lift can be significant, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance of the neck and jawline. The procedure can improve the definition of the jawline, reduce the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles in the neck, and minimize the prominence of muscle bands. This can lead to increased self-confidence and a more harmonious overall facial appearance. As with any surgical procedure, a neck lift carries potential risks and complications, which will be thoroughly discussed with the patient during the consultation process.
